Both my parents were born in Italy. Father 1933(deceased), Mother 1940. They both became naturalized US citizens before 1960. I was born in 1966. After my father passed in 1995 my mother moved back and now has dual US and Italian citizenship. All of my grandparents and great grandparents were Italian citizens. How would I go about gaining dual citizenship? Thanks

There could be a case of dual citizenship for the OP if the mother naturalized, and later married the father, who naturalized after the marriage.

A foreign woman marrying an Italian citizen acquired Italian citizenship automatically. The citizenship of an Italian wife did not terminate automatically if her husband naturalized after 1947. A child born to an Italian mother in 1966 was generally born with Italian citizenship.

The mother born in 1940 was natualized before 1960. That means she most likley had derivative citizenship from her parents. Her husband also naturlized before 1960. If her husband was still an Italian citizen on the date of the marriage the wife automatically became an Italian citizen and remained one after her husband naturalized.

Was your father a US citizen on the day he married your mother?For further discussion you may want to take your questions to this message board. The people on it are better qualified than me to answer many of these questions
